Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Ark Install scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Ark Install

Install Ark on a Kubernetes cluster using the published Ark CLI.

When to use

  • Installing Ark on a cluster

Prerequisites

  • Kubernetes cluster running - use kubectl to check for the presence of a cluster
  • If a local Kubernetes cluster is not available, you MUST stop and tell the user that you cannot install Ark without a Kubernetes cluster

Steps

  1. Install ark-cli

    npm install -g @agents-at-scale/ark
    
  2. Install Ark

    ark install --yes --wait-for-ready 5m
    
  3. Verify installation

    ark status
    

Optional: Install Phoenix telemetry

ONLY install if the user has asked specifically for Phoenix.

ark install marketplace/services/phoenix

Optional: Install Langfuse telemetry

ONLY install if the user has asked specifically for Langfuse.

ark install marketplace/services/langfuse
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
